International Women's Day is a time to reflect on progress made, challenges, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities.

As we celebrate the elapse of six full decades of the founding of our Afro-Asian People' Solidarity Organization (AAPSO), we wholeheartedly remember the important and active role it has played in consolidating ties between our peoples and developing and boosting cooperation among our nations. We recall, with due appreciation, the role which our Organization has played in preserving world peace in the face of international forces that have triggered sedition, war and armed conflicts in the world, driving it to the brink of a new world by their arrogant policies which aimed at interfering in the affairs of other countries and at seeking to impose their hegemony on our peoples.

The Afro-Asian Peoples Solidarity Organization expresses its sincere congratulations to the Arab Republic of Egypt on the occasion of the declaration of its chairmanship of the Organization of the African Union for the next year 2019 for the thirty-first session of the African Union.

The solidarity of the African-Asian people is deeply denigrated by US President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel and move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to occupied Jerusalem, ignoring Arab and international warnings.

The United Nations at its headquarters in New York, Geneva and Vienna on November 29 each year mark the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People as celebrated by all countries of the world.
